4 Benefits of Teeth Cleaning

1.

Prevents Cavities

Plaque buildup is a primary cause of tooth decay. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing might miss.

2.

Prevents Gum Disease

Our thorough cleaning removes harmful bacteria and tartar buildup that can lead to gingivitis and periodontal disease, helping maintain healthy gums and bone structure.

3.

Freshens Breath

Professional cleaning eliminates stubborn plaque and calculus, reducing your risk of cavities and tooth decay while promoting fresher breath and better overall oral hygiene.

4.

Brightens Your Smile

Professional cleaning removes surface stains from coffee, tea, and other substances, leaving you with a naturally brighter, more confident smile.

26% of adults aged 20-44 have untreated dental cavities.

What to Expect During a Deep Dental Cleaning

Your professional teeth cleaning appointment at Wildomar Smiles Dentistry will typically include the following steps:

  1. Examination: A dental hygienist will examine your teeth and gums, checking for any signs of inflammation, bleeding, or other concerns.
  2. Scaling: We gently remove plaque and tartar from both above and below the gum line using specialized instruments.
  3. Polishing: A gentle polishing paste will be used to remove surface stains and leave your teeth smooth and shiny.
  4. Flossing: The hygienist will floss between your teeth to remove any remaining plaque and debris.
  5. Fluoride Treatment: A fluoride treatment may be applied to strengthen your teeth and protect them from decay.
  6. Oral Hygiene Instruction: You’ll receive personalized guidance on brushing, flossing, and other oral hygiene practices to maintain a healthy smile at home.
